Visiting Granada in winter: is it worth it?<\/h2>\n\n

Our review<\/h3>\n\n

Yes, Granada is well worth a visit in winter! Granada is a city where tourist pressure is quite high, especially in spring. You must book your visit to the Alhambra several months in advance. In winter, you’ll have more peace and quiet, and can be a little more spontaneous in organizing your visits. <\/p>\n\n

For peace of mind, however, we advise you to book your visit to the Alhambra now<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

If you’re a sports fan, winter is the best time to visit Granada. In fact, you can go skiing in the nearby Sierra Nevada. Finally, in December and January, you can enjoy Christmas markets and illuminations, as well as concerts in the Manuel de Falla auditorium. January 2 is also the day of the taking of Granada, to celebrate the reconquest of the city by the Catholic kings in 1492. It’s a celebration you won’t see anywhere else!<\/p>\n\n
